Just 'Sy' then?

I never thought of it until your comment. Thanks. It’s pretty funny.

Reminds me of the Mac OS X alert sound called "Sosumi". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sosumi

Nintendo: "maybe I will"

I won't lie, I'm concerned for the long-term progress of the emulator. Yuzu and its ilk shined because of the talent backing it. That's not to say Suyu won't get such talent, but given that those involved in Yuzu/Citra won't ever touch anything past maybe the Wii and emulator devs - even those unaffiliated with the Nintendo emulation scene - are getting scared right now, I'm not sure.

The pokemon fan games are often much better than what Nintendo pushes onto the market.

I don't doubt that. But you know how Nintendo is and the collateral damage this drama caused.

The name reminds me of the Apple sound “sosumi” which was a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “So sue me” because of an issue with Apple Corp, the Beatles record label.

oh wow, actually cool that they got a new feature over Yuzu so quickly. stuff like that bodes really well for the project being more than just a frozen fork of the original

I think this is mistake. IMO they should not distribute compiled versions and let others handle compiling software.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

iirc the group has no references to any tools to get anything for the emulator, nor is trying to make money of it. theyve looked at what yuzu essentially was dinged for and removed the offensing part.

sure yeah realistically you could tell the user to compile, but compilation wasnt what nintendo went after, else groups like pineapple who conpiled latest builds for yuzu without permission would have been dmcad immediately, but didnt.
